Ranks
Jagdgeschwader 11 uses a rank system based on the ranks of the Luftwaffe in World War 2. Rank is earned through a combination of time in the Geschwader and performance in the Arenas. We do not use these ranks as a chain of command. We use them to enhance our immersion into the WW2 Luftwaffe mindset. Individual's ranks are displayed on the Roster page.

Pilots join JG11 as a Rekrut (recruit). After 2 tours, pilots are promoted to the enlisted ranks and, through a
